Mr.rnnk s reputation as a man of his wordis unsurpassed, and all who know himhave implicit faith in what he may sayupon any question, public or private:Colfax Wash., Aug. 1, l'.KX>.-Hon. J. M.*nnk, .Seattle, Wash.—My Dear Sir: Thefarmers of Eastern Washington have been foryears, and are now, anxious to secure somereasonable adjustment of freight rates uponfarra products. They have in the past soughtrelief in urging the legislative enactment ofmaximum rate lawe, but the poor result ofthese efforts have convinced many of us thatthe real remedy lies in an appointive railroadcommission.Your nomination by the recent republicanstate convention for the office of governor hasnaturally aroused much interest, and occasioned some discussion as to your views ofthat question.Having served with you in the legislatureoi this state, and there learned to rely uponyour word, I take it upon myself to addressyou this letter and ask you to define in yourreply your attitude upon that subject. Iknow that when you and I were together inthe legislative session of 18H3, you supportedthe freight rate measure known as the Anderson bill, but I am anxious to know your present attitude as bearing upon your presentaction in the premises if elected governor. Iam, respectfully yours,J. W. AIiKAHMITH.Mr. Frink's Heply.Seattle, Washington, August 23, I!KK) —»?' i\ V,Arrasmith. Colfax, Washington.—My Dear bir: lam in receipt of your letterot the 18th mst. In reply I would Bay: lamheartily in sympathy with you and your people in Eastern Washington in your desire fora just and equitable reduction of the presentfreight rates. It is my judgment after maturedeliberation, and watching the effects of railway legislation in other states, that the bestway to arrive at a proper solution of thismatter, which will do justice to all partiesand sections concerned, is through a railwaycommission. Every legislature convened hashad this matter under consideration, and withthe exception of the freight rate bill known astheAndersoQ bill, passed by the legislature ofIB.W, no railway legislation has been passed.I his is owing largely to local and conflictinginterests. The creation of a railway commission, to whom all these matters could bereferred, wauld, in my opinion, bring about afreight rate reduction satisfactory to all parties concerned,If I am elected governor of this state andthe legislature, in its wisdom, ehould pass anact creating such a commission, it will havemy immediate approval, and if the duty ofappointment devolve upon me, I promise youthat such appointments would be made solelyon the basis of merit and qualification. Noappointment would be made for the purposeof compensating political workers or payingcampaign debts.Hoping that I have made myself clear inthis matter, I remain, Sincerely yours,J. M.
